midori is already the newest version (0.5.11-ds1-2).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libllvm3.8:i386 linux-headers-4.4.0-31 linux-headers-4.4.0-31-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-38 linux-headers-4.4.0-38-generic linux-image-4.4.0-31-generic linux-image-4.4.0-38-generic
  linux-image-extra-4.4.0-31-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-38-generic
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

    To remove a package completely, you can use

    apt-get purge packagename

    In your case this would be

    apt-get purge matlab-support
